Multiplat Red Dead Redemption 2 - Launch Thread

[Marlowe]

I absolutely love the game but agree the mapping of some of the controls is awful.

My thumb is sore from constantly tapping/holding x. I wish the horse would just continue its speed once you’ve reached it and you don’t have to do anything

The horse kind of does. It's no real different than driving a car in GTA though (would you want to drive a car by pushing a button once?).

Thought the camp might be interested in some exotic meat.

No fun allowed. Took the head off for nothing.

Can I fast travel back to camp at all?

 

[silverscope]

So I just completed a mission about half way through Chapter 3 that gives you a nice cash boost for those who haven't done any treasure hunting yet.

Mission spoiler below

Spoiler: Spoiler

It gives you $2500 if you get the full amount from the bank, I went the quiet route and picked all the safes to get the money, you do have the option to explode them but I went the quiet route

Not that I've discovered. Think you can only fast travel out and only if your horse is at the camp. (I couldn't do it without my horse there)

Bought the most pathetic horse in Valentine... named it Roach

love the throwback to Fistful Of Dollars in chapter 3. "The Baxters on one side, the Rojos on the other. Me in the middle." Love it!

You are using a trigger to drive a car.... So yes, huge difference.

 

[The King!]

My only criticism is I do tend to shoot sometimes instead of feeding the horse and then kill someone.

But maybe that’s more me

 

[The King!]

Well work tomorrow, great how am I meant to to get that last shooter up in the mountains

 

[Noobz0r]

Ha holy s**t I just found a clan meeting.

Just found some more North-West of Flatbeck Station.

Found a dude panning for gold

Spoiler

I just stood there watching as he was pleasant when I greeted him. Then he told me to get lost. I watched from a distance and nothing else was happening so I assumed that’s all his role as an npc in the world was. Just as I was about to ride off he started cheering and running off. I rode up to him and pressed greet again and Arthur said “I see you found a nugget for me” or something. Long story short, he wasn’t too compliant and is now off the path in a bush and I am a gold nugget richer.

Damn it I found him to. I assumed the same and just rode off without looking back

Does anyone else try to keep regular hours by sleeping every night?

Not a fan of the night time as I find it a bit hard to see, so I usually make a camp to sleep until the morning.

Yeah, trying to do something along those lines. It's crazy how the game makes me have a schedule. One day I'll just be free roaming and hunting or fishing, then I'll return to camp and try and activate the errands. Then I schedule sleep for the morning, do the chores for honor (Almost max) then do missions.

Whoever mentioned going into cinematic mode when travelling, I owe you a beer!

What's the button for this R3 then what to make it stay????

Run with your horse then hold the touch pad. You'll see the prompt.

Rode all the way from camp, through the mountains, by a mad preacher, back into the snow, passed a-half dozen wolves, just to shoot a man (and his unwelcome, hostile lackeys). What a night.

Love the little things, like how Arhtur's clothes seem a little ripped and worn (I can't tell if they were always like that or if they're getting worn now). Love turning aim assist off too and firing like a mad man, rustic gunplay seems a little more natural (sure there's dead eye but I like gunfight with an edge).

Sounds like a Johnny Cash song.

Doctor’s office in Valentine

Spoiler

Early in chapter 2 I peaked through the window and saw a dude at a desk. Then I went to the door and was told to go away. Up to chapter 3 and I still can’t work out a way in. I know that some shops have some shady business out of the back at night (sounds like the gun shop is sharpening blades upstairs at night!) but I can’t work out what to do with this one.

Someone feel free to fill me in, I don’t care about spoilers for this particular thing. I’m too curious now and I just want a way in.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Wasn’t sure how a lot of things worked but yea it’s definitely clearer and mission wise it certainly opens up. I forget to eat and sleep though lol

 

[Marlowe]

Travelled out to the marshlands/swamp. I don't advise any moonlit tours out that way. Came across a body hanging from the trees, then three chalk-faced hillbillies lurched from the bushes and attacked me with knives - or they attempted to.

Made it home to play RDR 2 okay though.

Errr no but try to

One of the first missions where you get into a bar fight. I must of accidentally pressed the change camera button without realising. It went to first person mode through the whole fight, I just thought it was normal part of the game. But wasn’t till after I realised I changed that. It actually made it much more intense. Recommend every now and then switching to first person mode.

From now if I ever have to do a bar fight or kill an wild animal up close I might use the first person camera angle.
